Is it? Although Kemba isn't really in the position to be choosy. Hopefully he can be an effective scorer off the bench.Should be fun for him to play alongside Luka!Slumping Mavs sign K. Walker to boost backcourt

Has he had anything done on his knees/legs in the interim? I looked around and couldn't find any articles of a trip to Germany or stem cell research or anything that might help him stay healthy in an NBA game type activity level. Has he had a tune up over the last year? Or is the bet limited minutes?

This seems to be talking about the general state of his knee, which we all know is not good. Not some new injury they just found out about.

I know, usually the FO/coaches would try to put a pretty face on a bleak situation but there was no beating around the bush this time

Mavs are Luka Doncic's vanity project.
Better question is why would a GM sign a player who is injured. They do medical checks before signings usually.

Mavericks' Kemba Walker sees his first NBA action in 10 months: 'It just feels really good to be back'
Walker finished with eight points, five assists, two rebounds and one block... yes, a block!
Kemba looked good. That pull-up jumper is as smooth as ever. Here's hoping his knee holds up and he gets a long run in Dallas.

I think it’s more a case of managing expectations.
Sure he’s probably not wrong but to actually say that publicly isn’t right, just tell the media we’ll gauge his progress and evaluate him day to day.
